Culture of the Ramie Plant.

The more the resources of this country
are developed the more fully convinced
are the people that they did not begin to
realize Its Importance. One of the articles
recently decided as eminently suited to
this country is that valuable textile ramie
Persons in different parts of the State have
for years been making tests of this plant.
Prof. Hilgard of the University has in
connection with the Agricultural Depart
ment ofthat institution make thorough ex-
aminations as to the adaptability of the
plant to the soil and climate of this State.
The experiments have all resulted quite
favorably, and only for a trouble in decor
ticating the fiber that has existed until
recently, the plant would now be one of
our staple productions.
The ramie is species of the nettle
family, and the fiber is the strongest and
best produced from any known textile
plant. 1t can be used for great diver
sity of purposes. 1t can be made fine and
glossy like silk, and in a coarser state it
may be used for cordage and coarse cloths.
The fine fibers are much stronger
than silk and the coarse ones superior to
fax
Upto last year the machinery used for
decorticating it, made principally on the
style of those for flax, have not done salts
factory work they failed to separate the
fiber from the wood and clean away the
gummy substances, But, as noted in pre-
vious issues of the Times, after long ex-
periments, a machine has been patented
that, it is claimed, overcomes the Difficult
ties entirely. A company has been
organized to manufacture the machines
and to give encouragementito farmers to
engage in ramie culture-,San Jose Times

COnSumnfinn and MILL.

The Sanitary Era says: We have pre-
sented striking evidences that consumption
is radically filth disease, infectious and
probably originating, to great extent at
least lin common with scarlet fever, in
filthy kept COWS, from whom both diseases
are communicated to man through their
milk. Here is another remarkable con-
tirmation: 1t is stated by Dr. Wyss, of
Geneva, in Der FortschriH, that sconsump-
ton is unknown or very rare in those
countries the people of which do not breed
cattle, as in the polar regions and tropics.
According to the evidence of competent,
trustworthy Norwegian medical men, the
southwestern districts of Norway had re-
manned free from tuberculosis until the
introduction of English cattle Since then
this disease has been rapidly spreading.
DR.. Wyss states that it is not sufficient
to boil milk at l5S F. in order to destroy
the tubercular bacillus which the milk
may contain. Hueppe states that the
sterilization Of milk is extremely difficult.
An elaborate system of experiments,
says the New York Medical Times, has es-
tablished the fact that no milk below 1929
specific gravity can come from COWS in
state of health. Any milk which falls be-
low this standard is either diluted or I'M
healthy, or is the product of COWS in an
advanced state of pregnancy, in which con-
dition the milk is unfit for human con-
sumption.

Remarkable Decline In the Production of
Beef Cattle.

CHICAGO, August 26th.-A morning paper says
il is assumed in many quarters that beef fam
inc Is not far away. The estimates as 10 the de-
straction in the Northwest last winter are that
IN Montana there were 100000 head in Idaho,
about 1901 900; in Wyoming, aboui 800 900; in
Colorado, about 500, 000-or about $50 600 head in
all. During the summer on account of the eX-
cessiye drought it is estimated that the losses IN
the beefproducing States will swell the total to
/, 500, 600 head of beeyes.
But this is not the main fact which indicates
u future famine. 1t is now known that from so
to IS per cent. less calves were born this spring
than is usual owing to climatic causes, which
must have its effect in time. To this must
be added the fact that cattle-producers
have been rushing their surviving stock
on the market at an unparalleled
rate, and from these and other causes many
ranchmen are discouraged and are going out of
the business, Great uueasiness, such as never
before characterized the cattle business, Is man
ifest in business circles. The producer finds not
a dollar of profit, and more often heavy losses
charged against his account.
The market price has been lower on account
of the giut for in Chicago alone over 200, 600
head of cattle have been thrust on the market
during the last 30 days. The consumer, how
ever, gets his beef no cheaper because the pro-
Queer sells it for so little. II is limited that the
profit goes to the dressed beef monopoly, which
treats both sides-producer and consumer
alike. On every bullock tn ere is profit of ten
dollars to the monopoly, and whether loss or
an even thing for the producer the consumer
PAYS the monopoly the extra ten dollars profit.

Ice RIVERS OF ALAsKA-The Agassiz
Glacier, in Alaska, covers an estimated
area of about 600 square miles, while the
great Guyot Glacier, west of it, is of quite
unknown extent. Between the St. Elias
Alps and the sea, from Cross Sound to the
Copper river, the country consists almost
entirely of glaciers, at whose bases the ice
lies buried under millions of tons and hun
dreds of square miles of loose rocks which
it has carried down from the mountains.
The extent of these terminal moraines
misled early navigators, who saw barren
country composed of loose stones, while
the protruding ice was supposed to be snow
lying on the ground.
